Imagine you’re on a bus, high in the Bolivian sierra. The alcohol you smelled on the driver’s breath is having its effect, as he’s honking into oncoming traffic to pass rusty Volkswagens and herds of alpacas (while cursing them in Spanish)… Dust enters your nose and you cinch your seatbelt a little tighter, but all you can think about is: “Maybe I shouldn’t have eaten the llama burger last night”, and “God I hope I make my 5pm flight in La Paz with all my limbs intact”…

Long story short, yes, I made the flight… And no, I’ll never eat another alpaca burger again.

I’m not sure if it’s the trying new things or the idea of getting really good at something that’s more exciting, but I think it was my passion for both that led me to become an entrepreneur. I had some false starts and failures in the beginning… but once things click, they click. Before you know it, you’re living life without a boss and things just keep getting better.

Not to say running my business doesn’t keep me on my toes, but I do make time for relaxing with my friends. A couple glasses of red wine, lots of laughing and a bit of trance will loosen me up for the weekend, though I don’t need a lot of wine to have a lot of fun. Waking up naturally on a Saturday morning, without an alarm, and rounding up my friends or my brother’s family for an epic hike in the country is probably my favorite way to get in touch with the lighter side of life.

First Date

Warning: if you can’t hold onto a conversation about more than what Brad and Angelina did last summer, we’re not the best match. On the other hand, if you know what you want, and aren’t afraid of having a ton of fun while going after it, send me a message and let’s chat…
